The Black Boy Inn, Caernarfon

The Black Boy is a 16th-century inn within Caernarfon's historic town walls. It has good Real Ales, hearty meals, and is an easy walk from the town centre and 13th-century castle.

The Black Boy Inn dates back to 1522 and is one of the oldest inns in North Wales.

Some of its walls are 1.2 to 1.5 metres thick. The wood panelling, creaking floorboards, low ceilings, narrow staircases and thick wooden beams create a cosy atmosphere.

Caernarfon is a market town with an open-air market every Saturday (Mondays also in summer).
